This study guide is designed to help students begin thinking about groundwater - where it comes from, why it's important, and how it can be conserved and protected. The guide includes a brief overview of groundwater, a glossary, and...

Basic design of a demonstration machine that will lower the vapor pressure and cause water to evaporate at room temperature.

Learn where wastewater goes and where drinking water comes from. Students can then make a model sedimentation tank to observe how sludge and effluent are separated.

Students investigate the endothermic reaction involving citric acid, sodium bicarbonate and water to produce carbon dioxide, water and sodium citrate. In the presence of water [H2O]; citric acid [C6H8O7] and sodium bicarbonate [NaHCO3]...

The carrying capacity of a trout production unit depends on fish size and water quality factors such as oxygen content, temperature, water flow and volume. Most commercial trout farms in the South use rectangular concrete tanks in...

Determine the landing location of a stream of water that comes out of a tank that has a hole punched in the side.

The purpose of this fourth task in a series of four is to find the volume of an irregular 3D solid by using Archimedes' Principle. Students must calculate the volume of the displaced water in a rectangular prism tank in order to solve...

The purpose of this third task in a series of four is to find the height of water in a rectangular prism tank when the volume is known. All units are metric. Aligns with 6.G.A.2.

For this activity, students will observe that a change in the temperature of air will determine its place in the atmosphere. Water, which behaves very similarly to air, is used in this demonstration. It flows in fluid currents in a...

Explains how composting toilets work, their benefits to the environment, useful applications, and information on how to choose a system.

Get a diver's perspective of the Academy's Philippine Coral Reef tank, the world's deepest living coral reef display. At 25 feet deep, the tank holds 212,000 gallons of water and houses over 2,000 colorful reef fishes.
